Record Sporttold this week how McCann had slapped a £1.5m price tag on his star man.

And, ahead of the Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against Inverness tomorrow, the Dens boss said: "I would be lying if I said there wasn't interest there. I know there is interest from a number of clubs.

"We haven't had anything that has turned our heads whatsoever in terms of bids.

"They (Celtic) have shown an interest but there's not been anything (bids) there.

"Jack has come on to the scene here and I am really pleased with the way he is progressing but like our team, he has a long way to go before he is the finished article.

"But it would need to be a handsome sum to take Jack Hendry away from us.''

Hendry signed for Dundee last summer after two years at Wigan Athletic. And the former Partick Thistle stopper has been a mainstay in the Dens defence this season.

McCann has warned the club will not allow their top talents to leave on the cheap.

He said: "I am not in a position where I am just going to sit here and let my players go freely out the door with a pat on the back.

"It has to be enough that the club has been rewarded for finding Jack, bringing him here, giving him a platform as we have done with all the player to go and express themselves with a bravery, that if they make mistakes I am not going to hound them for it if I have asked them to play it."
